[[Image:Warsaw - poznan.JPG|thumb|right|225px]]* The common way to [[hitchhike ]] in '''Poland''' is to stand on the side of the road with your hand extended and/or thumb pointing upwards. Most hikers also wave their hands up and down, though this is not obligatory (and could be tiresome).* Unlike in [[Western Europe]], hitchhikers in '''Poland''' very rarely do write their destination on a [[sign|sheet of paper ]] or some piece of cardboard. Waving is usually enough to make a driver stop.* There are two main groups of hitchhikers in '''Poland'''. One is typical tourists (usually youngsters), and the other is the villagers, usually elderly people, who commute from their village to the nearest town or back. It is customary that the villagers leave some small tip to the driver (usually some 10% of the bus ticket price). However, tourists are not expected to pay anything for the ride, unlike in southern Europe. There is also a category of drivers who never stop by the ''villagers'', but very often do accept tourists. Because of that it is a good idea to place your backpack in front of you.
